As noted in the "Deprecated Interfaces, Language Features, Attributes,
and Conventions" documentation [1], size calculations (especially
multiplication) should not be performed in memory allocator (or similar)
function arguments due to the risk of them overflowing. This could lead
to values wrapping around and a smaller allocation being made than the
caller was expecting. Using those allocations could lead to linear
overflows of heap memory and other misbehaviors.

In this case these are not actually dynamic sizes: all the operands
involved in the calculation are constant values. However it is better to
refactor them anyway, just to keep the open-coded math idiom out of
code.

So, use the struct_size() helper to do the arithmetic instead of the
argument "size + count * size" in the kzalloc() functions.

This code was detected with the help of Coccinelle and audited and fixed
manually.

Consolidate the various helpers into a single blk_flush_plug helper that
takes a plk_plug and the from_scheduler bool and switch all callsites to
call it directly.  Checks that the plug is non-NULL must be performed by
the caller, something that most already do anyway.

Currently cgroup_writeback_by_id calls mem_cgroup_wb_stats() to get dirty
pages for a memcg.  However mem_cgroup_wb_stats() does a lot more than
just get the number of dirty pages.  Just directly get the number of dirty
pages instead of calling mem_cgroup_wb_stats().  Also
cgroup_writeback_by_id() is only called for best-effort dirty flushing, so
remove the unused 'nr' parameter and no need to explicitly flush memcg
stats.

Currently we trigger writeback bandwidth estimation from
balance_dirty_pages() and from wb_writeback().  However neither of these
need to trigger when the system is relatively idle and writeback is
triggered e.g.  from fsync(2).  Make sure writeback estimates happen
reliably by triggering them from do_writepages().

Patch series "writeback: Fix bandwidth estimates", v4.

Fix estimate of writeback throughput when device is not fully busy doing
writeback.  Michael Stapelberg has reported that such workload (e.g.
generated by linking) tends to push estimated throughput down to 0 and as
a result writeback on the device is practically stalled.

The first three patches fix the reported issue, the remaining two patches
are unrelated cleanups of problems I've noticed when reading the code.

This patch (of 4):

Track number of inodes under writeback for each bdi_writeback structure.
We will use this to decide whether wb does any IO and so we can estimate
its writeback throughput.  In principle we could use number of pages under
writeback (WB_WRITEBACK counter) for this however normal percpu counter
reads are too inaccurate for our purposes and summing the counter is too
expensive.

The inode switching code is not suited for dax inodes.  An attempt to
switch a dax inode to a parent writeback structure (as a part of a
writeback cleanup procedure) results in a panic like this:

  ---[ end Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception ]---

The crash happens on an attempt to iterate over attached pagecache pages
and check the dirty flag: a dax inode's xarray contains pfn's instead of
generic struct page pointers.

This happens for DAX and not for other kinds of non-page entries in the
inodes because it's a tagged iteration, and shadow/swap entries are
never tagged; only DAX entries get tagged.

Fix the problem by bailing out (with the false return value) of
inode_prepare_sbs_switch() if a dax inode is passed.

The inode switching code is not suited for dax inodes.  An attempt to
switch a dax inode to a parent writeback structure (as a part of a
writeback cleanup procedure) results in a panic like this:
